Bad maintenance not bad quads, you cant get away with running these new fourstrokes like you did the two strokes changing oil one a year. LOL. I knew people that did this type of maintenance for years and now they are trying the same thing with fourstrokes. Ticking Time Bomb!!!!

the two guys that i mentioned are good with maintenance they both had yfz before with 2-3 years in em before they did a rebuild, the guy whos father owns the yamaha dealer ship, races a lot, he is forever takin care of it, plus he gets everything dirt cheap ail etc..... h e prefers the new chassis etc but the old engine, they are just two examples but there is thousands who will disagree and rightly
when i bought my 2006 new, i had it about 2 months, i blew it, and yes i ran it in, i had to replace the piston, i went to my mechanic, he didint know why either, everything was perfect, other than the piston and cylinder,
i guess every1 has different experience, im just giving u guys mine form across the pond

dam blew up another bike in 2 months? They must send all the lemons out there to you guys or something.

**** knows, the yfz was mine, i use a dif mechanic, he is good. i was so sickened, the luck of the irish dont come with yamaha lol

when i was living in oz i had a trx 450, every1 with a one had blown 3rd gear, 3 guys i know of, i didnt but it shows haw thins vary, they all moved to suzuki, mine was buffet proof the engine in particular, that was my first quad and didnt know much about them, just service service service lol

With Yamahas the luck has to be on your side. If ure buying new the warranty is something good. but u have to get a good "copy".. My 2nd raptor 350 was perfect... the 3rd one had a noisy ticking engine and the carb stalled everytime while on the air doing jumps.
I guess with the 450's is the same. I might get a ltr450.

You will have more problems with an LTR over a YFZ450R.

The YFZ450R is hands down my favorite quad. No vibration, great power, and the factory suspension is really, really good. It's ergo's are far better, IMO, than the LTR - and it just looks better. I never have liked Suzuki quads much......
